Old World

This is supposedly the narrowest house in Germany. It stands in Lauenburg by Hamburg, and I can´t imagine a house smaller than this. I loved the bright colors of the door contrasting with the brickwork. Old Holland watercolors / 1995

Lauenburg is a town in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. It is situated at the northern bank of the river Elbe, east of Hamburg. The town was founded in 1182 by Bernard of Ascania, the ancestor of the Dukes of Lauenburg. Lauenburg was a duchy until 1689; the area of the medieval fief was roughly identical with today’s district. In medieval times Lauenburg was a waypoint on the Old Salt Route, while today it is the southern terminus of the Elbe-Lübeck Canal.
